hi , i am still using the old 509 mt4 , i changed the

GetLastNWeeksData to get last 30 weeks past data on screen. This only works if UseDailyFXAsSource is TRUE. I've also added some of the past info used to test this into the Files directory.

Hi,
I know FFCal is better than FFCal-news-Headlines.mq4 but this is only one file not three. This indicator no longer works in new MT4 (if I recompiled). So I really have a problem with that. I tried to modify but without success. I really disappointed. Could anyone put these three new FFCal files in one indicator (like the old one)? Or I attached the old indicator which I talked about. Could anyone make it work in new MT4?
I don't really like vertical lines, and I just would like to use it with my EA which works well with it. This is why I prefer the simplier FFCal-news-Headlines indicator.
Thanks!

NEWS_B6_v20g.ex4 works nice.

Will you be automating the GMT detection in the future?

I had to use -7 and 3, then the news releases showed the correct times (since I live in a -7 GMT time zone and my broker is in a 3 GMT time zone).

use the old build 509 compiler and copy the generated .ex4 file to your indicators folder ...
you may download the build 509 mql4editor at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=470340
PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

Actually I saved the old Metaeditor.exe (build 509) and its dependance to a self made "Metaeditor" folder and every time when I need it I have to copy mq4 files in, compile and copy the ex4 files back to the right folder of the new terminal, but this way is not the easiest way to make indicators work. Sooner or later we all need to make our stuff work in the new mt4. All my old indicators and ea-s work well in new MT4 in .ex4 if I compiled in the old Metaeditor (a while). So I think the best way is to fix FFCal indicators. If somebody could make a single mq4 file from FFCal probably everybody could fix their indicators. And I could fix my FFCal-news-Headlines.mq4 indicator using parts from the new single one. If I can repair mine probably I can fix other versions too.
Please somebody help us.
Thanks!

Hi,
It is not working on build 625. It's also the old one. "TimeGMT structure comes into conflict with the same named structure in the indicator."

delete the mq4 file and use the .ex4 only.

on my build (625 also) it seems to work. more I cannot say because I am not the author of that indicator.

I wish there was an update of this to be able to filter the calender to only show certain events such as high impact events and so that even somewhat irrelevent news events (such as ones for AUD show up on a chart for EURUSD, so they all show up on 1 chart instead of having to place the calender on every chart etc.)

Hi guys,

Thx filewalker for sharing your indicator.

One question.
Can I change the window size? At the moment its just showing 2 news releases and I want it to show more.
So for this I think the size of the "window" must be changed.

Hi,
First I must apologize because it is not my indicator of course. This was made by derkwehler also. So "if you like my favorite indicator just grab and try".
I just made it compatible for the new mt4. Anyway as I told it before this is a simplier one and this is working well with any EA because it shows only the upcoming news in the smallest size. This is why I like this indicator. If you want more lines it is possible but i think you should modify the other FFCal which can show more than 2 line basically. The structure of the code almost the same so it is easy to modify.
Here is another one which shared by Sanami in 2012 (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...70#post6185470). I made it also compatible.
"This gets the news data from DailyFX. (when set to UseDailyFXData = true)". I checked. It seems to work well in both modes.

Hi! Here is an updated version of my "interpretation" of this indicator, as posted previously here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...37#post7192537 Main changes from previous version v20f: Solved problem with Dashboard not showing some of the lines. The developer of the object funtions in MT4 decided it was best not to show the data if it was over a maximum length ... As requested by "ill_be_back": What I had in mind was that Lets say we have the next upcoming news...
When I load the News_B6_vg, it is not doing anything. What could be the problem? i copied the files just as prescribed. I am on build 670. I have tried using DailyFX True and False.

When I load the indicator, it says in the dashboard:

"16284 days 6 hrs 43 mins since
Source: DailyFX[TEST] (2014.08.12 0343 / GMT 2014.08.12 05"

I appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,
Stearno

The indicator did not download the Dailyfx files for me, so I did it manually. I provide them now in case they help anyone else. They are from Dailyfx website from May 2010 until August 2014.

Something like this ... At the beginning for configuration: #include "LibNEWS_B6a.mqh" extern string __MODULE_NEWS_FILTER__ = "____________________________________________________"; extern string __MODULE_NEWS_FILTER_title__ = "=== NEWS FILTER SECTION === "; extern bool NEWS_UseNewsFilter = false; extern string __events_selection__ = "--- NEWS EVENTS SELECTION ---"; extern int NEWS_SelectEventsWithCriticity = 3; // 0: Everything; 1: Low; 2: Medium; 3: High extern string __timezones_configuration__ = "--- SOURCE AND TIMEZONES CONFIGURATION ---";...

Hi Sergien,

I am trying to add your NewFilter code to an EA of mine, but then I compile I receive from the compiler the following 3 errors regarding the function bool DoNewsAllowsTrade() :
'FFCAL_GMT' - undeclared identifier
'FFCAL_COUNTRY' - undeclared identifier
'FFCAL_TIME' - undeclared identifier

Do you have any suggestion to solve these errors?

Thank you in advance.

Good indicator to prevent us from trading ahead of a news event thereby reducing potential losses.
